Perfect for the daily commute, client meetings and business travel, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram 18-inch laptop case brings refined heritage to your work essentials. It pairs effortlessly with a tote or briefcase for a polished, professional look from desk to boardroom.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Will my laptop fit this case? A: The exterior measures approximately 39 × 29 × 1.3 cm (about 15.4 × 11.4 × 0.5 in). For a comfortable fit, your device should be smaller than the interior by a little margin; as a guide, laptops up to roughly 36 × 26 cm that are slim usually fit. Because models vary in bezel and thickness, please measure your device and allow tolerance for the lining and the zip.
Q: What does the 18-Inch size refer to? A: It follows an older naming convention based on laptop screen diagonals. Please rely on the actual measurements listed here rather than the size name when checking compatibility.
Q: Is it padded or drop-proof? A: It offers light structure and scratch protection, but it is not designed to absorb heavy impacts. If you need extra shock protection for commuting, use a separate padded sleeve inside or carry it within a padded bag.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water-resistant? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas resists light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe off moisture promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to water to preserve the coating.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and the brown leather lining? A: For the canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based products, solvents, oils, or harsh cleaners. For the leather lining, use a clean, dry cloth only and keep it away from liquids. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: How does the case open? A: It features a zip-around closure that opens widely for easy access to your laptop and documents.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item comes as photographed with no accessories. If a dust bag, box or other extras are not listed under Accessories, they are not included.
Q: The date code is illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: Not necessarily. Vintage Louis Vuitton pieces used stamped date codes that can fade with wear. From March 2021 onwards, many items no longer have visible codes and instead use internal microchips. Authenticity is assessed using multiple indicators of materials, construction and markings rather than a single code.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton replace the zip or refinish the hardware? A: Louis Vuitton boutiques can assess items and may offer paid repairs such as zip replacement or hardware work, subject to parts availability and an in-person evaluation. We recommend visiting your nearest boutique for a quote.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Good vintage condition with scuffing on the corners and signs of use on the canvas; the interior shows light traces of use and a few scratches; hardware is tarnished with scratches and discolouration. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
